Explanation

Building a physical structure like a detachable classroom has a well-defined, stable scope with predictable steps - making linear (predictive/waterfall) project management the appropriate delivery method. In linear PM, the primary planning artifacts are the project schedule (which sequences and times activities) and the Work Breakdown Structure (WBS), which decomposes the total scope into manageable work packages. A project backlog is an agile/adaptive artifact used when requirements are evolving, which is not the case for a construction project. Answer C is correct because it correctly pairs the linear approach with its corresponding artifacts.
